Reindeer herding and forest management can be better integrated to benefit nature restoration, conservation and commercial wood production.
Large floods happen naturally, however, adding or removing forests can change not only their sizes but also how often they occur.
The way we manage forests can undermine their ability to retain water, leading to excess runoff.
The new technology will help scientists monitor and protect some of Australia’s most iconic and threatened forest species.
A recent study indicates that forest management in Northern Ontario is placing timber harvesting above safeguarding natural environments and compromising animal habitat.
Park and forest managers can’t rely on the past any longer to understand future risks. Fires, pests and climate change are changing the game.
For trees, growing to maturity involves much more than just reaching upward.
President Biden has called for protecting large, old trees from logging, but many of them could be cut while the regulatory process grinds forward.
The important role living roots play for sustaining life belowground should prompt us to rethink forest management.
The Kenyan state has historically viewed forests in terms of production and economic development – not biodiversity and conservation.
Canada has had over 2,000 wildfires already this year – here’s why.
Now begins a long and difficult process to recover vast areas of forest after more than 50 years of destructive logging.
Just 2.5% of the country has been continuously wooded for centuries.
Protecting old and mature trees is the simplest and least expensive way to pull carbon out of the atmosphere – but proposed logging projects threaten mature stands across the US.
Wildfires are remaking western US forests. Decisions about managing forests that have burned should factor in how fires change animal behavior and interactions between predators and prey.
Political interests have informed conservation policies in one of East Africa’s most important water towers, the Mau Forest Complex.
About 60% of Mexico’s forests are managed by local communities. A scholar who has studied the forests for 30 years explains how this system protects the forests and the people who oversee them.
Recent wildfire seasons have been worsened by climate change. But wildfires also lead to additional climate warming when they release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
Debating whether climate change or forest management has caused the devastating wildfires in California, Washington and Oregon is a false choice.
